Sitcom: Roseanne by ric gustafson
The fifth season of a show called Roseanne started just forty nine days before Bill Clinton was voted into office. The show was about a family size recession story. The show was pitched as a struggle between parents and children.
The sitcom was created by Matt Williams and transformed into a vehicle for comedienne Roseanne Barr. Barr was a Denver housewife who discovered standup comedy. In her comedy act, she was honest about issues such as her weight and blue collar life. The show became part of a series of working class sitcoms from the mid 1980's to the mid 1990's. When the show debuted in 1988, Barr said that it would be different than other sitcoms. It portrayed home life as a battlefield full of combat.
Roseanne's husband Dan was played by John Goodman. Roseanne's sister Jackie was played by Laurie Metcalf.
